Quantinuum (QNT) After CHIPS Funding Win Still Looks Undervalued On The Bull Case

Quantinuum (QNT) secured a $100M CHIPS funding deal for quantum semiconductor research. Shares are down 31.66% in 30 days but up 0.74% on the day. Analysts estimate fair value at $98.75, nearly double the current price of $49.03, citing growth potential and cost efficiency. However, risks include heavy Q2 2026 losses and roadmap delays.
